KARACHI: Rawal­pindiz pacer Mohammad Amir and Islamabad United all-rounder Fah­eem Ashraf have been fined 10 per cent of their match fee for a Level 1 offence of the Pakistan Super Leagues Code of Conduct during a game at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi on Thursday.

In uncalled for incident, Amir had a brief altercation in the ground with Faheem after dismissing him.

According to a press release issued on Thursday, Amir was found to have violated the Article 2.5 of the PSL Code of Conduct, which pertains to using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during a match.

Faheem, on the other hand, was deemed guilty of Article 2.21, which relates to bringing the game into disrepute. Both Amir and Faheem pleaded guilty to the charges levelled on them by the on-field umpires, and accepted the sanction adjudged by the match referee.
